Seann William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton both disliked the film. Director Craig Gillespie also hated the end result, due to last-minute re-shoots done with another director (said director, later revealed to be David Dobkin, went uncredited, leaving Gillespie to take the blame).
Billy Bob Thornton broke his foot during filming, while wrestling in a scene with Seann William Scott.
David Dobkin directed three weeks of re-shoots, according to Patrick Goldstein's article in the Los Angeles Times published on 10 August 2007.
The Ramona Dynasty Band from Riverside California was featured as the local high school marching band in 2 scenes.
